This week’s top ten commandment is “Do not lie.”  You might be thinking to yourself, “Why does lying make the top ten list?”  A little fib never really hurt anyone…right?  If Veggie Tales has ever been a part of your life then you’ve probably learned that fibs can grow and grow until they become huge problems!  For those of you who don’t know the story, Junior tells a fib to cover up that he broke something and it creates a little “fib” creature that eventually turns into a giant monster as the lie gets bigger and bigger.  When we lie, we often have to tell more lies to cover up the first one, and eventually we find ourselves tangled up in a web of lies that we have created.  This is a big reason why lying is on the top ten list, but it doesn’t end there.  As we will see from looking at John 8:31-47 this week, there is more to lying than simply telling a fib.

You’ve probably already realized that lying causes problems and you try to avoid it. Part of what makes lying so dangerous is that we don’t always realize that we’re doing it.  Telling a fib isn’t the only way we can lie.  Our passage this week shows us a couple of these different ways we can lie and how we can avoid them.  Perhaps lying has snuck its way into your life.  Join me  this week to see why lying is on our top ten list and how we can stop it in its tracks.

See you Sunday!
